now, jackson's wife, her name was rachel donaldson and when rachel donaldson was a young teenager her father was a colonel, settled what we now know today is knoxville, settled hennessee and colonel donaldson took a group of white settlers and half the territory out in the woods and fought indians in that sort of stuff. in the settlement, rachel, his daughter sort of became a debbie taunt, the daughter of the most prominent man in the tennessee region. young rachel is a bit controversial because she does what a proper girl ought not to do. against her parents wishes she runs away and marries an older man is a ne'er-do-well. his name is luis robards and if it fears -- appears robards might've been physically abusive with her and he loses one thing after another but he accuses her of all sorts of things and at the least was very abusive toward her. so this is a big scandal. she does what a proper girl ought not to do a second time. she leaves robards and goes back home. couple of things happen. women legally could could not divorce so she has to ask robards for a divorce. also washes ba

and rachel matt dow " drift" and ann coulter mug to. they always make the best seller list for a couple of weeks? >> she had switched publishers because at one point if you put a book with her name and her face on the cover it is dead guaranteed sales of six figures that has been dropping over time but this seems she had to abut the rhetoric to sell fewer and fewer copies. it will be interesting to see what she does for the next book and how far she is willing to go. >> rachel when don beyond the usual pundit book questioning american military power it is not written from the liberal perspective as an unabashed liberal. she is on tv but has a ph.d. in something. and charles murray probably would not want to be called as a pundit but this is a question that looks at the white working-class to separate class of from race. how the values of the lower rate have gone down hill and the white e leaked and the working class has lost the values to describe these things it is more than ranting. >> host: so probably not fair to call a political pu
